Dave Spence Agrees with Todd Akin: No Exception for Rape or Incest

Both Akin and Spence say on their sites that they believe that life begins at conception -- although the Kansas City Star has reported that Spence is trying to distance himself from Akin.

Akin has said that he supports a few exceptions, only for ectopic pregnancies (where the embryo is growing in a fallopian tube) or to save the mother’s life. And he also opposes the “morning-after pill,’’ which can prevent conception if taken within a few days after unprotected sex.

Spence supports exceptions only for “the life and health of the mother,’’ a spokesman said.

Good luck trying to distance yourself from Akin, Mr. Spence. It appears that your views are just as much out of the mainstream as Akin's.
